My Dtech 18" 1-10 6X45 should be in mid July, I need to come up with a load for coyote and maybe deer in Mn.
I assume most bullets are designed around the 6mm/.243 velocities, What would be a good bullet with the 6X45 velocities.
I would prefer a double duty bullet but willing to load what I need to get the job done for both coyote under 300yds and deer under 100yds.

Thanks

Ive been playing with 60 -75 grainers in a 1-9. shoots em all about equally well. searching for the magic load still.
 
I have only used 65gr to 68gr bullets in mine so far and they have all worked well for coyotes and the couple of deer and some hogs I have shot. I don't know if I would recommend them necessarily for deer as I was just culling and not seriously hunting for deer but they performed fine.

Here are some of this years good deer.

WOW that is some nice Bucks!!! Everything is bigger in Texas.
 
In the last several weeks, I have become an even bigger fan of the 88gr. Berger. The consistency at 400+ yards on pocket gophers is scary.

I use Sierra 75 gr. Hollow Points for coyotes and bobcats. It's a good bullet for that job. It's not as explosive at 6x45 velocities as it would be from a 6mm or 243.
 
Thanks the Sierra 75gr HP must be popular Midway Midsouth Grafs are all sold out.
My new Dtech 6X45 upper should be here in a week or two.
 
The 85gr Partition is what Mike suggested for deer and the Sierra #1510 75gr HP for coyote. I just looked at Sierra web store and even they are out of the #1510.
 
The Sierra 75 HP is a good deer bullet...

I'm running a 75 Sierra HP out of my 6x upper and an 85 HPGK in my bolt gun. Both bullets leave the muzzle about 2730 or so...
